Token-Dashboard: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

Token-Dashboard CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Arylmera/Token-Dashboard. It costs 2,495 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Token Dashboard, a local desktop app that reads Claude Code session logs and shows token usage, costs, and history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing, testing, or understanding the Token Dashboard’s Rust, Tauri, data-scanning, pricing, and analytics code.
Why use it?
They give the coding agent the project’s current status, structure, and data sources so it can work in the right part of the codebase.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is Arylmera/Token-Dashboard's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Token-Dashboard itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Token-Dashboard configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Token-Dashboard CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Guidance for Claude Code when working in this repository.

Project overview

Token Dashboard — a local desktop dashboard for tracking Claude Code token usage, costs, and session history. Reads the JSONL transcripts Claude Code writes to ~/.claude/projects/ and turns them into per-prompt cost analytics, tool/file heatmaps, subagent attribution, cache analytics, project comparisons, and a rule-based tips engine.

Inspired by phuryn/claude-usage but diverges in UI (React 18 bundled with esbuild, dark theme, hash router, SSE refresh) and scope (expensive-prompt drill-down, skills view, tips engine, streaming-snapshot dedup). See docs/inspiration.md for the original's feature set.

Status

5.0 line — Rust + Tauri. The 3.x Python + Electron stack is no longer in the tree; existing 3.x users keep their installed builds, future development targets v5 only. Workspace builds clean on cargo build --workspace; ~180 tests across core + cli (run cargo test --workspace for the live count). Tauri shell verified on Windows; macOS and Linux QA happens via the release-tauri pipeline.

Architecture

crates/
  token-dashboard-core/   scanner, db, queries, pricing, preferences,
                          tips, skills_catalog, anthropic_sync, sources.
                          No process model — just a library.
  token-dashboard-cli/    axum router + tokio bin (`token-dashboard`).
                          Owns the /api/* surface and the SSE bus.
  token-dashboard-tauri/  Tauri 2 desktop shell. Links the cli as a
                          library and calls app(state) directly inside
                          the tauri runtime — single process. The
                          analytics surface spawns no subprocess. The
                          src/live/ module (ported from Praetorium) is
                          the one exception: it drives the `claude` CLI
                          (process.rs) and watches ~/.claude/projects/
                          (session_watch.rs), streaming events to the
                          frontend over Tauri IPC channels.
  praetorium-core/        Pure parser/vault library (no Tauri, no db,
                          no async runtime) backing the Live feature.

frontend/                 React 18 + esbuild (`entry.jsx` →
                          `frontend/dist/app.js`). The webview talks
                          directly to /api/* through the embedded
                          server; the SSE consumer in api-client.js
                          drives view refreshes.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
